Should I try Hagrids if ........

[kaceyisme]

Should I try Hagrids based on the following:

I love Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, The Mummy

I can't ride Rockin Roller Coaster, Expedition Everest, The Hulk.

Your expert opinions please!

While I’ve never ridden Hagrids, I have ridden Verbolten at BG Williamsburg and I can say it can get very intense. I would recommend a POV video.
As of right now I’d say no

I'm in a similar boat. I'm good with Space, Big Thunder, 7Dwarves. But I get sick on Everest (backwards), Forbidden Journey (but I do it anyway ) and I'm too much of a baby for the Hulk. I did just fine on Hagrid's. It's pretty fast and there's a little drop, but the backwards movement didn't bother me on it like Everest does. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again! I think you should give it a shot.

hmm, that's tough, because it's such a cool, well-themed coaster, part of Wizarding World, and all that.....BUT it totally made me sick, just about did me in. I can do Everest well enough, RnRC, but haven't tried Hulk.... Could've been that I rode first thing in the AM, empty stomach, which is worse for me. If you don't mind spoilers, watch a POV. But since it's part of WW, I definitely wanted to experience it. At least do the queue! Maybe the side car is a little tamer????

It does go backwards at one point and while moving backwards it jerked me a little bit only because I was not expecting the turn. But otherwise, it is a very smooth ride. Far different than the Hulk.

If you love Harry Potter, you should try it. It slows down in certain areas to see very cool theming. It's pretty smooth, but there are a couplet times where it accelerates very quickly.

 

[CAPSLOCK]

Yes, try it. Especially if you are a Harry Potter fan. The sidecar feels more secure for your first ride.

Based on your lists, I think you should do it. It is just so very fun. Super smooth, too.
The backward part in Everest gets me because it's in the dark. Hagrid's backwards part is shorter and also not in pitch black so I was okay with it.

Thanks everyone! I think I’ll give it a go. The suggestion to ride in the sidecar is appreciated. I was thinking that would be a better choice for me!

I love Big Thunder Mountain, will ride Space Mountain, and rode The Mummy for the first time a few weeks ago (liked it). I have never ridden the 3 you can’t ride. I don’t care for the more intense coasters.
I rode Hagrid’s for the first time recently. It was at the top of my coaster comfort zone, but I really liked it and will definitely ride again. I say go for it.

I was gonna say - try it, but definitely sit in the sidecar - it's less "feel of the ride" in the car, which is a good thing...

Glad to hear it!!

If you can do The Mummy, you`ll be fine on this......hope you love it.

You'll do fine if you can do Space and The Mummy (both in the dark) Hagrid's is 90% outside, doesn't go way up high, accelerates quickly but also gently slows down for different scenes. The backwards part is similar to EE in that it suddenly looks like the track ends and then goes backward, but it's outside, and way less intense. The drop is surprising the first time, but it's really nothing ( I think 6 feet?) and the end of the drop is very gentle, not jarring. Definitely do the sidecar first, that's what I did. After that, it was the bike for me every time!

Disclaimer: I also have never ridden Hulk, RRR, RnRC, etc. I have been on EE a few times quite awhile ago, but Hagrid's doesn't go as high.

For motion sickness, I use 1/2 of a bonine the night before. It helps a lot.

 

[mialovesart]

Definitely give it a try. If you can do the Mummy, then this is totally doable. Also, the backwards portion on Everest is very intense for me & I am a coaster fan! Hagrid’s isn’t as intense as Everest, Rock n Rollercoaster, or Hulk in height, speed, or drops. I agree that the sidecar is more comfortable with less intensity. Hagrid’s is smooth and family friendly.
